WRITINGPEN.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT J AHN, a sub ject of the King of Prussia, and resident of No. 47 Konigzgritzerstrasse, Berlin, in the Empire of Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Vlf'riting-Pens, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to improvements in writing pens. I

More particularly the invention relates to that class of .steel ens in whic i the nib is cranked or angular y set off in regard to the shaft of the pen.

Special objects of the invention are to render more eliicient and serviceable pens of the kind referred to.

With these ends in view the invention consists in the novel arrangement and adaptation of parts all as more fully hereinafter explained, shown in the accompanying drawing and then specifically set out in the ap pended claim.

.[n the drawi Fig. 2 is a side elevation, and Fig. Bis a front elevation of the improved steel pen.

As indicated in the drawing, the improved stee pen according to my invention in general appearance smnlar style of pens, which has the nib cranked or angnlarly set off in regard to the shaft of the pen. Itdistinguishes therefrom by tlie'improved arrangement and position 'of the nib (L in regard to the shaft 1), which latter serves for inserting the pen in the holder. v

T he knowncranlied ens have the longitudinal axis of the nib irected in a plane in common with the longitudinal axis of the Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed September 20, 1907. Serial No. 398,796,

shaft, or the nib is bent in a downward direction. .In contradistinction thereto, the nib aofthe steel pen according to my present invention rises gradually above the-plane of the shaft, starting the ascent at the point ofjunctiort with the latter. point of the nib to lie elevated in regard to the surface of the shaft. In other words the longitudinal axes of the shaft and nib conthem. The tranverse axes of the shaft and nib likewise run in convergent planes, the point portion of the nib being turned around the longitudinal axis and toward the left.-

The aforedescribed special arrangement of the nib in regard to the shaft enables the hand to assume a natural attitude of rest while it holds the pen on the writing surface in the correct position for writing. Premsv ture fatigue in writing and writers cramp are thus eiiectively revented.

What I do clann as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is: r

A writing pen comprising a shaft portion and a nib' portion cranked therefrom and turned slightly around the longitudinal axis, the point of the nib being elevated above the plane offhe shaft portionsubstantially as described-and shown.

' In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 6th day of September, 1907, in the presence of two subsori )ing witnesses.-
